Hundreds of new homes are coming to Leamington as part of a massive house building programme involving two construction companies.

Persimmon Homes and Taylor Wimpey are building a total of 420 new homes on two parcels of land at Harbury Lane near the village of Bishops Tachbrook .

Construction work is already under way.

Persimmon Homes Central is building 208 new homes on its Bishop’s Gate development, in Harbury Lane.

Bishop’s Gate will offer a mix of two, three, four and five-bedroom homes, with a number of new types of home that have not been available in the Midlands before.

Sarah Read, head of sales for Persimmon Homes Central, said: “This is a very exciting development for us, as we will be building new house types that have not been offered for sale in this region before.

“The four-bedroom Himbleton is new to us and will feature as our showhome, which we hope to open early this Summer.

“We will also be building the four-bedroom Foxford, which is also new to us.

“Other designs will include the five-bedroom Hadleigh and Marylebone as well as the four-bedroom Holborn.

“Building work has begun quickly on this site and we already have more than 150 people who have registered their interest in just a few weeks.

“We think Bishop’s Gate is likely to sell well, especially as the site includes new house types and designs, and we are looking forward to its launch.”

A spokesman for Taylor Wimpey Midlands said: “Our Meadowsweet Farm development in Leamington Spa will launch on Saturday, 7th April, and we are excited to show people some of the homes we have been working on.

“A selection of three and five-bedroom properties will be available to reserve right away, starting at £354,995, and a series of one to five-bedroom homes will be released as the site is developed.

“Help to Buy is available at Meadowsweet Farm, meaning home hunters need just a 5 per cent deposit to secure their new property. The site also backs onto a country park, giving great views across the Warwickshire countryside.

“We’ve had plenty of interest already and we are looking forward to welcoming buyers during the launch weekend.”
